<p>I read somewhere that people applying to major in economics have a lower acceptance rate since a lot of people want to major in it. I heard that this is especially so for the ivies. How true is this statement?</p>
<p>Well, Cornell has an applied Economics and management major which has the lowest acceptance rate of the entire University I believe (around 9%)…im not too sure about Economics in CAS though </p>

<p>Ok, then I don’t think that would apply to me since I’m applying to CAS. </p>
<p>Cornell is all about fit. If you seem like a good fit for Economics, it won’t be harder than another major. </p>
<p>For example, someone who has taken bc calc and ap physics will probably find it easier to get into engineering than the hotel school… </p>
<p>That makes sense. Thanks for the insight!</p>
